My 91 accord sometimes won't fire. it is great all the time but sometimes it will turn over but won't start. i wait a minute then it fires. it only happens once in a while. any ideas

could be a fuel pump problem. I have 2 Chevy trucks and chevy's are known for their bad fuel pumps. could be a wiring issue. take it a pep boys and let em check it out.

check out the starter, like if it clicks it might be that. or try jump starting, your battery might need to be recharged.

is it raining when this occurs????? I used to have a honda accord that pulled that crap and it always did it after it got done raining or was raining

i'm a grad with honors in mech. and most of my work is front drive jap.subcompacts there very good cars and if you ask my bro he'll tell you honda/acura are gods gift to humans.its all good,it's just a matter of p.m. preventive maintanice ,spark plugs/plug wires,cap and rotor,fuel filter,air filter,fresh oil and oil filter,good fuel system cleaner,this is all cheap and should be done on a reguler basis, if your problem persist then its a sensor thats starting to go like the o2 sensor(oxegen)or map sensor(manifold absolut pressure sensor) word of the wise get more than one opinion cuz some mechs. are cheaters, do things like mark the spark plugs with nail polish and things like that to make sure, the biggest cheaters are big company shops...if your check engine light is on look no further than a sensor but if it dosent than is something simple...peace

first 2 things to check cap and rotor. next check the coil to see if it is burnt. If all these things are good it is uusally a ignition module. This part can usually be found on or in your distributor cap.

all i have to say is main power relay seen them a million and million times...

have u tried to just turn ur car on not the engine, but the battery. waiting for the check light to go out, or the buzzing to stop, and then starting it. sometimes if u turn the key too quickly it wont start cuz the fuel pump hasn't pumped ur fuel yet.

Hey I have a 92 accord. Have the same problem but only when it is really hot and humid outside. If I shut it off someimes it won't start right away. Have to let it set for a few minutes. I've come to find out it is a computer chip on the fuel injection system that is not letting the fuel get to the engine. hope this helps you.

back in the early days of yester-year . especially with the early 90 , 91 some 92's had some major problems with the igniter and coil on those vehicles . so honda had recall some of those vehicles that falls within certain vin numbers. they would change igniters , coil and some distributor housing.
